Witkowski— Dana Wakiji (@Dwakiji) December 27, 2018
Darren Helm also skated with the team this morning, but not as part of these line rushes, apparently so while his return is getting closer, we’re almost certainly not seeing it tonight.
Fortunately, AA is a go
We hope to have more clarity on whether the Wings are going to try to cheat and play with four forwards on their fourth line and also have seven defensemen in the lineup, but we’re kind of left guessing at this point that the team will either stick with the 11/7 setup they had in their last game, in which case it appears Frk and Megan will both sit for Witkowski on defeense or they’ll sit both Witkowski and probably Megan to go with the more-traditional 12/6 setup.
